THE CREDIT FACILITY

2.1 Term Facility

The Lender agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, to make a term loan (the “Term Facility” or the “Facility”) to the Borrower, in a principal amount of up to but not exceeding CDN$31,000,000.

2.2 Purpose of Facility

The single Advance under the Term Facility shall be used by the Borrower exclusively for the purpose of financing or refinancing, as the case may be, the Premier Aviation Acquisition and for related corporate purposes.

2.3 Availability

2.3.1 Save and except for the purposes of conversions and continuations permitted under Article 5, any repayment of the Term Facility may not be reborrowed.

2.3.2 Where under any of the terms hereof, the Term Facility is cancelled, reduced or terminated, the same may not subsequently be increased, with any such cancellation, reduction or termination thereof being permanent.

2.3.3 Upon delivery to the Lender of an irrevocable Draw Request, the Borrower shall have the right to draw down up to the whole Term Facility on the Closing Date by way of a single Advance, provided that any unused portion of the Term Facility after the Closing Date will cease to be available.

2.3.4 The Term Facility is available in Canadian Dollars, by way of a Prime Rate Loan or the issuance of BAs.

2.4 Repayments

The Borrower hereby binds and obliges itself to repay in full on the last day of the Term Period the outstanding principal amount of the Loan under the Term Facility, together with any other amount in interest, fees and accessories, in each case, then due and payable pursuant to the Loan Documents. The Loan shall not amortize.

2.5 Voluntary Repayments

2.5.1 The Borrower may voluntarily repay in advance the whole or any part of the Loan under the Term Facility, without prepayment premium or penalty.

2.5.2 The Borrower shall issue a Repayment Notice not later than three (3) Business Days prior to any such repayment of the Term Facility. Once delivered, no Repayment Notice may be revoked by the Borrower.

2.5.3 Where such repayment is for less than the whole of the Term Facility, then such repayment must be for at least CDN$5,000,000 and in whole multiples of CDN$1,000,000.

2.6 Revolver Security Event Offer

2.6.1 Within 30 days following the occurrence of any Revolver Security Event that is then continuing, the Borrower shall provide a written notice to the Lender containing the following information (such notice, a “Revolver Security Event Offer”):

(A) that a Revolver Security Event has occurred and that such Lender has the right to require the Borrower to either (i) repay in full such Lender’s Loans at a prepayment price in cash equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, together with any other amount in interest, fees and accessories, in each case then due and payable pursuant to the Loan Documents, but net of such portion of the up-front fee paid pursuant to Section 6.1 which corresponds, rateably, to the then remaining period of the Term Period (the “Prepayment Option), or (ii) grant in favour of the Lender first-ranking security over assets of the Borrower to secure the Obligations (the “Security Option”);

(B) with respect to the Prepayment Option, the date of prepayment (the “Prepayment Date”) (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); and

(C) a statement that any Lender wishing to exercise either the Prepayment Option or the Security Option must comply with Section 2.6.2.

2.6.2 In order to accept any Revolver Security Event Offer, the Lender shall notify the Borrower in writing at its address for notices contained in this Agreement prior to 12:00 noon, Montréal time, on the Business Day next preceding the Prepayment Date with respect to such Revolver Security Event Offer (the “Election Time”) of such Lender’s election to either exercise (i) the Prepayment Option, or (ii) the Security Option. Subject only to the provisions of Section 2.6.5, such Lender’s election shall be at the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

2.6.3 If the Lender has elected to exercise the Prepayment Option, then prior to 1:00 p.m., Montréal time, on the Prepayment Date the Borrower shall pay to the Lender the aggregate amount payable pursuant to Section 2.6.1(A)(i).

2.6.4 If the Lender has elected to exercise the Security Option, then, by not later than the 45th day following the Election Time, the Borrower (i) shall have entered into such agreements, instruments or documents with the Lender documents which, and taken such actions required to, create, grant and perfect the security contemplated by Section 2.6.1(A)(ii), and (ii) shall have delivered to the Lender all customary corporate certificates, title reports or title insurance, as the case may be, and legal opinions in respect thereto, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

2.6.5 Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, in the event that (i) the Borrower is contractually unable to grant security pursuant to the Security Option because of the terms of any financing of the Parent Guarantor replacing, refinancing or supplementing the US Syndicated Credit Agreement, or (ii) the assets of the Borrower available to be pledged pursuant to Sections 2.6.1(A)(ii) and 2.6.4. are not reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, then the Revolver Security Event Offer shall be limited to the Prepayment Option hereinabove contemplated.

4.2.2 In payment of the Stamping Fee payable in connection with any BA, the Lender shall retain from the Discounted Proceeds relating to such BA an amount equal to such Stamping Fee.

4.5 Waiver

The Borrower shall not claim from the Lender any days of grace for the payment at maturity of any BA issued and accepted by the Lender.

On request by the Borrower, the Lender shall cancel and return to the possession of the Borrower all BAs which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of the Borrower and which are held by the Lender.

Neither the Lender nor any of its directors, officers, employees or representatives shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under this Article 4, except for its (his) or their own intentional or gross fault or wilful misconduct.

hereunder to be delivered, shall be deemed to have been received the next following Business Day.

5.2 Conversion or Rollover

On the relevant Conversion Date, the Borrower shall, without creating novation, repay such portion of the Type of Advance that it desires be converted or rolled-over and shall be deemed to have requested a Drawdown in the amount, the currency and the Type of Advance into which it desires to convert or rollover.

All material information furnished by any Loan Party to the Lender in writing pursuant to this Agreement is and will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date as of which such information is dated or certified, and none of such information is or will be incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information not misleading in light of the circumstances under which made (it being recognized by the Lender that any projections and forecasts provided by any Loan Party are based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by such Loan Party to be reasonable as of the date of the applicable projections or assumptions and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections and forecasts may differ from projected or forecasted results).

10.6 No Material Adverse Change

Since the date of the most recent audited consolidated Financial Statements of the Parent Guarantor furnished to the Lender prior to the Closing Date, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, assets, business or properties of the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE 15

REMEDIES

15.1 Termination and Acceleration

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender may do any one or more of the following:

15.1.1 declare the whole or any item or part of the Term Facility to be cancelled, terminated or reduced, whereupon the Lender shall not be required to make any further Advance hereunder in respect of such portion of the Term Facility cancelled, terminated or reduced;

15.1.2 accelerate the maturity of all or any item or part of the Loan and declare it to be immediately due and payable, whereupon it shall be so accelerated and become so due and payable, including, without limitation, for greater certainty, any BA Liability, notwithstanding that any holder of any outstanding BA shall not have demanded payment or shall not then be entitled to do so;

15.1.3 suspend any rights of the Borrower hereunder, whereupon such rights shall be so suspended; and

15.1.4 take any other action, commence any other suit, action or proceeding or exercise such other rights as may be permitted by Applicable Law (whether or not provided for hereunder) at such times and in such manner as the Lender may consider expedient,

all without any additional notice, demand, presentment for payment, protest, noting of protest, dishonour, notice of dishonour or any other action being required other than those required by Law. If an Event of Default referred to in Section 14.7 occurs, the Term Facility shall immediately and automatically be cancelled and the Loan shall be accelerated and become immediately and automatically due and payable without any action on the part of the Lender being required.

15.2 Compensation and Set-Off

15.2.1 In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower, at any time and from time to time, subject to the Lender giving reasonable notice to the Borrower, to subsequently effect compensation, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, in each case whether matured or unmatured), and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Lender hereunder, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or shall have declared the Loan to be due and payable as permitted hereunder and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. The Lender agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

15.2.2 For the purposes of the application of this Section, the Borrower and the Lender agree that the benefit of any term applicable to any Lender’s deposit, credit indebtedness, liability or obligation referred to in this Section shall be lost immediately before the time when the Lender shall exercise its rights under this Section in respect of such deposit, credit indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Lender.

15.2.3 If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 15.2.3 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any Loan Document in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency,

the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of the Province of Ontario or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 15.2.3 being hereinafter in this Section 15.2.3 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

15.2.4 If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 15.2.3, there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Loan Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Loan Party under this Section 15.2.4 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents

15.2.5 The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 15.2 means the rate of exchange at which the Lender, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (Ontario time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with its normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency.

15.3 Notices

Save as otherwise expressly provided for herein, no notice of any kind shall be required to be given to the Borrower by the Lender for the purpose of putting the Borrower in default, the Borrower being in default by the mere lapse of time allowed for the performance of an obligation or by the mere occurrence of any event constituting an Event of Default.

15.4 Dealings with the Borrower

The Lender may grant extensions of time and other indulgences, take and give up securities, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges and otherwise deal with the Borrower as the Lender may see fit, without prejudice to the liability of the Borrower or to the Lender’s rights pursuant to the terms hereof.

ARTICLE 16

INDEMNITIES

16.1 Market Disruption

If the Lender shall have determined that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant markets for deposits in the relevant currencies generally:

16.1.1 by reason of circumstances affecting the market for BAs, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Discount Rate for any Selected Period, including because no purchasers are available to the Lender to enable it to discount BAs having any Selected Period; or

16.1.2 by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant markets generally, deposits in the relevant currencies are not available to the Lender in such market in the ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts to enable it to accept BAs or discount BAs for any Selected Period;

the Lender shall promptly give notice of such determination to the Borrower, and until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (i) if any Conversion Request requests the conversion of the Loan into, or the continuation of the Loan as, BAs, the obligations of the Lender to convert or continue such Loan shall be suspended and the portion of such Loan to be advanced by the Lender shall be converted into or continued as a Prime Rate Loan, on the last day of the applicable Selected Period, and (ii) if the Draw Request requests a Loan by way of BAs, the obligations of the Lender to make any such Loan shall be suspended and the portion of any such Loan to be advanced by the Lender shall be made as a Prime Rate Loan.

16.2 Change in Law

If the Lender determines (which determination shall be evidenced by a certificate submitted to the Borrower by the Lender) that:

16.2.1 a Change in Law has made or shall make it unlawful or contrary to any Applicable Law for the Lender to make or maintain all or any part of the BA Liability hereunder, then the obligations of the Lender to make or maintain such part of such BA Liability shall be suspended and, subject to the provisions of any such Applicable Law and those of Section 16.3 with respect to losses and expenses, the Borrower may convert such BA Liability or any part thereof or alternatively may repay in full any such or other affected Loan or liability to the Lender without prepayment premium or penalty, together, in each case, with all interest accrued thereon, which conversion or repayment shall be made, with respect to each relevant Selected Amount, at the expiry of its Selected Period, or if in the reasonable judgment of the Lender immediate conversion or repayment is required by law, immediately upon demand of the Lender; or

16.2.2 a Change in Law has:

16.2.2.1 imposed, modified, or deemed applicable any loan ceiling against the Lender or imposed, modified or deemed applicable any special Tax (other than a Tax on the net income, profit or capital of the Lender or any Excluded Tax), deposit insurance, reserve, deposit or similar requirement with respect to assets held by, deposits in or for the account of, the acquisition of funds by, or loans by the Lender; or

16.2.2.2 changed the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender under this Agreement (other than a Tax on the net income, profit or capital of the Lender or any Excluded Tax); or

16.2.2.3 imposed on the Lender any other condition (including the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender as a result of this Agreement or the Facility) or monetary restraint with respect to this Agreement, the BA Liability or any part thereof of the Lender (other than a Tax on the net income, profit or capital of the Lender or any Excluded Tax); and

the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the Facility or BA Liability or any part of any one thereof or to reduce any amount receivable by the Lender with respect to the BA Liability or any part of any one thereof of the Lender by an amount which the Lender deems in its sole discretion to be material, then, the Borrower, within 30 Business Days of receipt of the certificate referred to above (which certificate shall contain all required computations and reasonable explanations of the amounts required to be paid):

16.2.2.4 shall pay to the Lender, such additional amount computed by the Lender as will, on an after-tax basis, compensate the Lender for such additional cost or reduction in amounts receivable which the Lender determines to be attributable to the Borrower or the Loan made to the Borrower; and

16.2.2.5 subject to the provisions of Section 16.3 with respect to losses and expenses, shall have the right to repay in full the BA Liability together with accrued interest thereon (as applicable) but without prepayment premium or penalty.

The Lender shall not claim any such additional amount from the Borrower unless it claims similar compensation from other borrowers that are similarly affected. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine

months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

16.3 Reimbursement of Losses and Expenses

Whenever the Lender shall sustain or incur any losses and expenses as a result of:

16.3.1 the failure of the Borrower to borrow (other than a Prime Rate Loan) pursuant to the Draw Request once delivered; or

16.3.2 the declaration by the Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default, that the Loan (other than a Prime Rate Loan) is immediately due and payable; or

16.3.3 the failure of the Borrower to pay when due principal or interest (other than with respect to a Prime Rate Loan) under this Agreement (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise); or

16.3.4 the conversion or repayment of the whole or any part of the BA Liability (including pursuant to Section 16.1 or 16.2) on any day other than the Selected Maturity Date with respect thereto; or

16.3.5 the failure of the Borrower to convert pursuant to a Conversion Request once delivered;

(the events contemplated above shall be referred to individually as a “Loss Event” and the funds converted, not converted, repaid, not borrowed or not repaid, as the case may be, which are subject to any such Loss Event shall be collectively referred to as the “Affected Funds”);

the Borrower agrees to pay the Lender, upon demand, an amount certified by the Lender to be necessary to compensate it for all such losses and expenses.

16.4 Mitigation; Replacement of Lenders

If the Lender requests compensation under Section 16.2, or if the Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 16.1, then the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 16.2 in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 16.1, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

If the Lender requests compensation under Section 16.2, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Lender, require the Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 17.6), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations, provided that:

(a) the Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 16.3) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(b) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 16.2, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

The Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by the Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

16.5 Tax Documentation; Refunds

The Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed forms or documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as may be necessary to reduce or eliminate any Taxes for which the Lender requests compensation under Section 16.2.

Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Lender have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue any refund of Taxes for which the Lender has received compensation under Section 16.2. If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes for which it has received compensation under Section 16.2, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

This Section shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

16.6 General Indemnity

The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Indemnified Parties from any and all losses and expenses that may be incurred by or awarded against any Indemnified Party, arising out of or relating to any investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds of the Facility, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any other Person and whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto, except to the extent such losses and expenses are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from any Indemnified Party’s intentional or gross fault or wilful misconduct or any Indemnified Party’s breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 17

MISCELLANEOUS

No other method of giving notice is hereby precluded.

17.3.1 The Lender will open and maintain on its books a loan record for the Borrower evidencing the aggregate Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender hereunder and each constituent part of the Loan.

17.4 Rights and Recourses Cumulative

The rights and remedies of the Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy which the Lender would otherwise have and no failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

17.5 Assignments by the Borrower

The rights of the Borrower hereunder are declared to be purely personal and may therefore not be assigned or transferred, nor can the Borrower assign or transfer any of its obligations, any such assignment being null and void insofar as the Lender is concerned and rendering any balance then outstanding of the Loan immediately due and payable at the option of the Lender and relieving the Lender from the obligation of making any or any further Advances hereunder.

17.6.2 Any Assignment contemplated in this Section 17.6 must be either for the entire amount of the Loan of the Lender or, where it is for a lesser amount, such amount must not be less than CDN$5,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where any such Assignment is being made while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the restrictions contained in this subsection 17.6.2 shall not apply to such Assignment.

17.6.3 Without in any way limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, at the reasonable request of the Lender, execute and deliver to the Lender or to such party or parties as the Lender may designate any and all further instruments or documents and use its reasonable efforts to obtain any and all further authorizations or approvals, and make any and all further registrations, filings or notifications, as may be necessary or desirable to give full force and effect to an Assignment by the Lender.

17.6.4 For the purposes of this Section 17.6, the Lender, may provide, on a confidential and need-to-know basis, any prospective assignees, transferees or participants with this Agreement, as well as all information, reports, budgets, projections and documents, which are made available to the Lender by the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower in connection with this Agreement from time to time, provided that such prospective assignee, transferee or participant has signed a duly executed non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement obliging it to the same standards of care relating to the Borrower’s confidential information as the Lender.

17.6.5 All expenses incurred by the Lender and the Loan Parties in connection with any Assignment will be for the account of the Lender.

17.7 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Transmission of an executed signature page by facsimile, email or other electronic means is as effective as a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

17.8 Severability

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

17.9 Replacement of Previous Agreements

This Agreement replaces and supersedes all verbal or oral agreements, understandings and undertakings between the Lender and the Borrower relating to the Facility.

17.10 Obligation to Pay Absolute

The obligations of the Borrower to make payments on the Loan as and when due in accordance with this Agreement shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.

17.11 Governing Law

This Agreement and the interpretation and enforcement thereof shall be governed by and in accordance with the Laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal Laws of Canada applicable therein.

17.12 Submission to Jurisdiction

The parties hereto irrevocably waive any objections on the ground of venue or forum non conveniens or any similar grounds.

17.13 Amendments
